Mount Veeder Malbec 2014

Located near the summit of Mount Veeder, our Small Block Malbec from the Veeder Summit Vineyard is supple and sensuous, with flavors of blackberries and dark fruits along with a touch of jam and peppery spice that allows the wine to linger.

“Let’s just say it: Malbec from Mount Veeder allows us to craft an exceptional wine, memorable in every way. Our Small Block Malbec is rich, round and redolent of ripe red fruits laced with hints of oak spice, menthol and Aussie style black licorice. Big and bold, with flavors that build in waves, it’s a wine worth celebrating, a benchmark for decidedly California style interpretations of Malbec that are a note apart from the dominant style from Argentina, or the darkly brooding and meaty offerings from the Cahors in France. The Hess Collection is the largest grower of Malbec in Napa, for good reason. Mount Veeder Malbec stands apart, and the proof will be in your glass, as soon as you pour this stellar vintage.” - Dave Guffy, Director of Winemaking
